I'm from the UK too, and I personally agree that it really depends what age you are. The top 5 I'd say were best known are
1-The Rock (For his movies more than being a wrestler)
2-Hulk Hogan
3-Stone Cold
4-Andre the Giant
5-John Cena

Good blog tbh, my parents are Bangladeshi! But I was born in England!

I would replace Cena with Angle and Kane with Taker

The Rock sometimes gets a mention as does Taker, but neither are as well known as Hogan or Savage. Most people don't know who Cena, Flair, Shawn Micheals, Stone Cold, HHH, Sting etc are,
